The team looked like they might be enjoying their craft. They showed persistence.
A sample size of one is just that. But Hakstol must have "lost the locker room." The Preds will be an interesting test.

While it’s hard to get too excited as it was the Dead Wings, I did see a spring in their step that wasn’t their earlier in the year. The atmosphere in the building was great too for a change. I think the recent moves have had the desired effect of waking up the fans a bit. It was fun cheering them off the ice at the end of all 3 periods rather than booing!

Played well in the 1st, then let up...and never really got back into the game. Couldn't bury a chance to save our lives. Eriksson Ek couldn't score with a $2 hooker. So many missed opportunities and the Sharks need just a few quality opportunities and they bury them. Walz talked and talked...and talked. Pateryn fight seemed to loosen the team up defensively which led to the two quick goals in the 2nd. Full game recap, an extended Iowa Wild report and prospect news too...check it out!
